B-Mode Optimization
Most commonly used Description
parameters
Digital TGC (23) Use finger to swipe in direction of desired TGC curve. For finer adjustments use Near TGC/Far TGC / Overall control knob below Digital
TGC. You can store the TGC curve by holding down one of the Top 3 TGC curves on the right of the touch panel. The bottom one always
remains straight and can’t be overwritten
Auto Tissue Optimization Optimizes contrast resolution by changing the gray scale to match the image data. Continuously updates whilst scanning
(7)
CHI Harmonics Utilizes Coded Harmonic Imaging to receive and display harmonic (double) frequencies. Coded Harmonics increases contrast and
reduces low frequency high amplitude noise. Multiple frequencies area available to help increase penetration.
Frequency Range is dependent on probe and model. Use higher frequency for smaller patients, lower frequency for larger patients. Use lower
frequency for deeper structures, higher frequency for more superficial structures improving detail resolution.
Dynamic Range Controls how echo intensities are converted to shades of gray, increasing the adjustable range of contrast. Increase dynamic range for
more shades of gray, decrease for more contrast.
Gray Maps Varies the appearance of the shades of gray from black to white. Choose the gray map prior to making other parameter changes. There is
interdependency between the gray maps, gain and dynamic range. A and B are softer Maps, increasing in contrast as you move down the
list
CrossXBeam™ CrossXBeam, or compound imaging, combines three or more frames from different steering angles into a single frame. May help reduce
CrossXBeam # speckle and noise in the image. Enhances tissue interfaces and border detection.
CrossXBeam # allows the user to adjust the number of steering angles. Low fastest frame rate, 3 steering angles, Medium fast frame
CrossXBeam Type
rate, 5 steering angles, High slower frame rate, 7 steering angles, Max slowest frame rate, 9 steering angles
CrossXBeam Type: Mean averages all returning values (normal scanning mode), Hybrid combines a mix of both average and maximum
values (center line + Max), Max displays only the maximum returning values (Max only).

B-Mode Optimization (continued)
Most commonly used Description
parameters
Speckle Reduction (SRI) An adaptive algorithm to help reduce the unwanted effects of speckle in the image. Image speckle usually appears as a grainy texture in otherwise
uniform areas of tissue. Each model has specific SRI settings. SRI may be used on any probe or in any clinical application. This can be changed as post
processing
Rejection Selects a level below which echoes caused by noise will not be amplified. The higher the rejection the more low-level echoes are eliminated. Useful in
Vascular imaging
Virtual Convex Changes linear probe images from rectangular shape to convex shape and adds 20% more viewing area. Note: When in Color Mode you can select “Virtual
Convex” on Touch panel to display the color in a wider field of view.
Frame Average A temporal filter that averages image frames together, using more pixels to make up one image. Presents a smoother, softer image the higher the value
Line Density Helps to optimize line density or resolution. Decrease line density for faster frame rates. Increase line density for better resolution
Edge Enhance Brings out subtle tissue differences and boundaries by enhancing gray scale differences corresponding to edges of structures. Useful for cleaning out B-
mode image (M-Mode timeline) to enhance vessel wall or organs.
PRF In Cardiac only, frame rate decreases and noise artifacts are filtered
B-Mode Raw Data On a frozen or recalled image you can adjust the following parameters;
(post processing) Gain, TGC, Auto Optimize, Dynamic Range, Gray Maps, SRI, Rejection, Zoom, Image reverse, Image rotation, as well as Comments, Body Patterns and
Measurements.

Color Doppler Optimization
Most commonly used Description
parameters
Velocity Scale (PRF) Range of velocities that are assigned a color. Adjust the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) for an enhanced
representation of the magnitude of the flow pattern. Increase for higher flow velocity, decrease for lower
flow velocity.
Angle Steer Provides a Doppler angle suitable for linear probe orientation. You can steer the ROI of the Color Flow linear
image left or right to get more information without moving the probe.
Frequency Changes the color parameters to enhance flow in different depths. Use lower color frequency for deeper
vessels. Increase color frequency for superficial vessels. Range is dependent on probe and model .
Wall Filter Filters out low velocity signals and affects low flow sensitivity versus motion artifact. Assists in reducing
motion artifacts from motion outside the vessel wall.
Focus Position Adjust focal zone within the color ROI for the best vessel filling, position focal zone in the middle or lower
half of the ROI.
Frame Average Temporal smoothing filter helps to create a smooth and persistent flow profile.
Line Density Helps optimize color flow frame rate for sensitivity and spatial resolution. Higher line density will reduce
color on vessel walls. Lower line density will increase frame rate.
Color Threshold Percentage of gray scale level where color Doppler is overwritten. Decrease where vessels are large and
easily identified, Increase where multiple small vessels need to be visualized.
Flash Suppression Algorithm to help control motion artifacts.

The table below discusses adjustments that can be made to help in some scanning situations.
Not all listed adjustments may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
IF THEN
Color does not fill the vessel Increase color gain until color noise is seen in the surrounding tissue, then decrease the
gain just until the color fills the vessel. If color does not fill the vessel decrease velocity
scale (PRF), increase threshold, decrease Wall Filter. Decrease Color frequency for
penetration when needed.
Color displays mixed directions Forward flow and reverse flow should be separated by a black transitional line. If there is no
line between red and blue, increase the Velocity Scale (PRF) to reduce the aliasing
Color is seen in right and/or left side of vessel, The color ROI box is perpendicular to vessel flow. If using a linear probe, change the ROI box

image, try a straight ROI box. Heel/ Toe the probe for better angle
Color is outside the vessel wall Decrease color gain until color is within the vessel walls. Increase velocity scale (PRF) just
until color is within vessel walls. Increase Wall Filter. Decrease color threshold.
Color is in superficial vessels, but not in Decrease color frequency, increase color gain until flashes are seen in the surrounding
deeper vessels tissue, then decrease gain just until color fills the deep vessels.
Frame rate is too slow Decrease Color ROI box size, slightly taller then wider preferable. Decrease color Line
